Nhetembo – Detembai Titandare

Chepamusoro chero gosoro,
Zvinorapika kana nemakwenzi,
Chanhasi imhezi yemumoyo,
Mazvokuda mavanga enyora.

Tinoswera paraini sikati rose,
Kuzvinanika segubeze reweti,
Nguva yekurarama nehama,
Chaidzo mhenyu hapachina.

Runhare rwave nhengo yemuviri,
Hanzi ndine shamwari jahwi,
Mazana mashanu nepfumbamwe,
Dzinondida zvikuru nechekure.

Kumwa hwahwa kana kuputa,
Hurumende yakati zvine zera,
Ichi chirwere chichangoburwa,
Chisina nani anoziva marapiro.

Zvino chabata zera rose,
Vana, vakuru nevakwegura,
Nguva dzese kutarira muruoko,
Zvatichatsikwa nehambautare.

Majaya otora tusiri twavo,
Mhandara dzoshanda manhede,
Kuti vatenge nguva yeparaini,
Pavanozvishambadza madiro.

Zvino kangoma kana koririsa,
Kawe pedyo nokuda kuparuka,
Pfavirai ngoma vana vevhu,
Tichapera sehondo yeminda.

Kumuka rudzii chokwadi,
Zuva racheka nyika kudai,
Tora hamiro iyo netambo,
Kudanga utevere kurumidza,
Tingavana dzamira nemhuru!

Tarira muzukuru mwachewe,
Wafumobata jongwe muromo,
Nzombe Jega naSiferi pajoki,
Vadzimai mushure nembeu,
Gore remvura roungana!

Usatevedza sahwira muerabadza,
Wekumera zenze muna Gunyana,
Zhizha zvanzi musana vorwadza,
Zvazviita badza kugura mupini,
Wozomuona kusiririsa tokohwa.

Wedu mukuwasha swerakuenda,
Wafumoshamba machemashiri,
Orowa masango kunanga mhiri,
Kwaanzwa kurira ngoma yendari,
Musiya dzasukwa haadzoki chimbi.

Museyamwa otiza munda murefu,
Odzoka Mbire kunyii netsombori,
Dzaanokohwa pasina rake ziya,
Kukanga mbeu achimirira nyadenga,
Tichaonana matako pakuyambuka.

Hongu gumbeze radziya netsvina,
Asika munhu haarerwi nebonde,
Kutomuka, mukuyu hauvingi shiri,
Mambakwedza kudai kuchapitirira,
Basa mangwanani!

Vanhu imi heyi,
Kumira kuti hoo,
Shandaika chimbi,
Zvibva zvati gedye,
Kuchakati ndoo.

Manje rodziya kwii,
Nemi mati rabada,
Maheu itai dzvutu,
Musati mati tasa,
Mozoti neni nanga.

Ita rinyatsoti bheu,
Mushe vati pindikiti,
Zvarakati manimani,
Mumwe akati pudzu,
Rinova zhowezhowe.

Asi chii nhai,
Kubva wati zoo,
Ndavedzera tsvoti,
Nesadza murwi zhii,
Chiita moyo mbembe.

Zvino zvarati kan’an’a,
Chirega kuti pweshe,
Ibvaka wati nyamu,
Kutsime woti tande,
Mugoro ngauti tundu.

Ibva zvako wati zii,
Zvavanga wamuti bo,
Waiti haakuti pwee,
Zvino akuti kwatu,
Tsvatu waro!

Madirei echikoro kudzokorora,
Chikamu chimwe chete katatu,
Zvino zvaave kutonge baba,
Vari kutamba nevana,
Tarira, injodzi munhandare.

Zvechikoro zvaramba izvi,
Regai zvangu nditsvage basa,
Muzvinamuchovha anoda rubatsiro,
Ropa rangu ronzwa kufamba,
Ndini hwindi.

Vadzidzisi munozvifambisa sei,
Svomho dzakandiramba chose,
Asi chengi ndinoiziva pabasa,
Ndisati ndaipitambira mari,
Chingai maitiro vafundisi.

Ndine ruzha hadzisi mbanje,
Mhanyamhanya ugare wakafara,
Njere handina asi simba ndinaro,
Pabasa ini ndomera manhenga,
Kufadza mutyairi ari panyanga.

Nhasi muzvinapembe wavira pasi,
Mhaka yacho ini hwindi ndinoziva,
Ini uyo kunotenga wangu muchovha,
Tatu, shanu, inga zvayatove gumi,
Bvunzai ini ndikudzidzisei basa.

Kwava kusakara kwedovo,
Sekunge risakadyiwa nyama,
Wangu hupenyu ndazadzikidza,
Vana vatatu vazukuru jahwi,
Vati pararira nenyika dzose,
Tangotarisana pano nama’tombi,
Richibuda dakara parinopota.

Ndinobvuma idi ndachembera,
Asi hazvirevi ndachinja moyo,
Ndaitemwawo dzinobuda ropa,
Muhana ndichiri’ye wemazuva’se,
Rudo, rufaro neruremekedzo,
Pasi pemoyo zvichakaringana,
Zvamunoona makushe chete aya.

Kukwegura bedzi kwandaita,
Nyota ndinayo, ndidaneiwo kundari,
Pachine nguva ndibate jongwe muromo,
Makumbo zvooramba kufambakasika,
Rochekanyika ndadhakwa nairo rezviyo,
Usanonoke ma’mwana kusunga ngoro,
Ndabva zera huyai munditore.

Zvino tatarira madeukazuva,
Basa tapedza wave mudyandigere,
Vana mushure bvudzi rotochena,
Votonzivo madhara nevavo vana,
Ivo vazukuru vatopedza chikoro,
Vari kutevera kukura zera nezera,
Nekuti ndiro gwara redu tose.

Tarira munda wati ndoo,
Kusviba nadzo idzo Ndira,
Kupera kweZhizha asika,
Famba nendima kusakura.

Kukadzi uno matura azeyama,
Rave dzikitsiki kunyima sechapungu,
Hanzi patabika tatyora mugoti,
Muenzi haapedzi dura weduwe.

Mbesa dzononoka ndiKurume,
Panoda moyo nzira haisviki chimbi,
Varume michero yaibva musango,
Kumba kusvika kungomwira mvura.

NdiKubvumbi hayiari zvekumhanya,
Kwakati kwidiba, ichipfirapfira zuva rese,
Haungatadzi kubuda mumba muna vashe,
Imhute chete iyi hapana mabhanan’ana.

Mwakwa wekunaya kupera kwawo,
Matara netsapi zvofemera pamusoro,
Ibasa muminda kukohwa zviyo nechibage,
Umore Chivabvu chekugocha mauro.

Chikumi mugariro wacho,
Basa raderera zvirimwa zvave mumatura,
Asi chando chogwagwadza siku nesikati,
Chegore rino chakwidza hamba mumuti.

NdiChikunguru chaiye watajaira,
Nyika yose yaita ruvara rutsvuku,
Kufanana nadzo nhunguru dzati chakata,
Tichipura mhunga, zviyo nemapfunde.

Nyamavhuvhu uye atitosvora zvino,
Naro dutu ruwanzamatare rinorira,
Vana mudyahandikore vachipupurutswa,
Zora mafuta urege kuparuka ganda.

Ose matambo mwedzi uno,
Takadekara kudai munaGunyana,
Tichidya zveziya regore rese,
Kana idzo shiri dzoita manyana.

Gumiguru mwedzi mukuru,
Vekugadzirira kurima chirimo chopera,
Sunga ngoro tiise mifudze mumunda,
Kupisa uku kukwezva mvura yenhuruka.

Mbudzi dzaita zamu, regai dziwe nyenye,
Dzingai mumunda dziende mumakura,
Kutiza mukumbo unoita ngomwa,
Ambuya havaomberwi dzichibereka.

Zvita ndiye wekutenda nyadenga,
Gore rapera kisimusi yatosvika,
Chibata mbudzi tidye ano maenza,
Tipembere navo vabva nyikadzino!
